Synopsis

This Is an Invitation to Take Your Power Back! What happened to the spark you had as a child that powered curiosity, engagement with life and creativity? Has it burned out? Are you feeling emotionally and physically exhausted and cynical, wondering if you've got what it takes to make it in this rapidly changing world? Burnout looks a lot like depression, but it's not a biological bogeyman that medication or simple stress management can cure. It's a disorder of hope and will that sucks the life out of competent, idealistic, hardworking people like you; and it will be an ongoing challenge for you to take your power back! In this timely and groundbreakthrough work, Joan Borysenko - a Harvard-trained medical scientist, psychologist, and renowned pioneer in stress and health - straddles psychology, biology, and soul in a completely fresh approach to burnout. Her deeply human (and often amusing) personal accounts of burnout and recovery help convey a clear understanding of the science behind helplessness, hopelessness, and empowerment. Plus, the rich wisdom of people who have gone from fried to revived - including many of Joan's vibrant community of nearly 5,000 Facebook friends-makes this powerful and practical book a must-read for our times.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Emotionally exhausted? Discouraged? You may be suffering from burnout, a syndrome similar to depression, but different in that it’s not a disease to be cured. Like depression, burnout is a medical emergency because it erodes health and can lead to disability and even death. It is a personal emergency because it destroys relationships, love and work. It is a spiritual emergency because the soul’s fire has gone out, and a profound sense of separation from the Source of Being creates despair. In this breakthrough work, Joan Borysenko, PhD – a Harvard-trained medical scientist, psychologist and renowned pioneer in stress and health – straddles psychology, biology and soul in a completely fresh approach to burnout. Joan’s deeply human (and often amusing) personal accounts of burnout and recovery; the science of helplessness, hopelessness, and empowerment; and the rich wisdom of people who have gone from fried to revived – including many of Joan’s vibrant community of 5,000 Facebook Friends – make this powerful and practical book a must-read for our times.
